Yep,  had  a CX500 Standard with a big ol Vetter fairing on it Bought it new 
in 1980 ?????? A really neat bike.  It was also sold in a Custom , sorta 
Cruiser version, the Silverwing , a full blown touring version and in a 
turbocharged version.  I also believe it became a CX650 by end of life.   One 
of my favorite Hondas. Oh, and you forgot to mention that it was also liquid 
cooled so the suckers really were long lived.
